Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - Page number 46 - June/July 2021 (Issue 89)

The couple chose a blue and silver theme for their special day. “Our florist, Felicity, is a family friend and works with seasonal flowers but managed to source blue and purple varieties to match our theme,” Kimberley says. She created some amazing floral arrangements including a decorative archway and lanterns filled with flowers. Our table centrepieces saw the blooms displayed in Martini glasses placed on round mirrors and surrounded by blue candles which looked effective.” The couple named their tables after the roads where stations that they had worked at were situated and their place names were displayed in elegant cardholders sourced from the British Heart Foundation. “Our table plan had to be altered numerous times because of the restrictions that were in place because of the pandemic,” Kimberley says. The couple gave their guests pink and blue lollipops as favours along with a scented candle in either blue, purple or cream, and a small potted succulent. “I made, and decorated, our cake,” Kimberley tells us. “It was painted with blue flowers and we ordered an Iron Man topper because Mike is a big fan!” LOOKING THE PART Kimberley chose an elegant dress with a bow on the back that she teamed with a veil and a faux-fur shawl. “I tried on a few dresses but loved how simple and elegant this style was,” she tells us. “It also had pockets which was a bonus! My necklace was my something borrowed-and-blue from Mike’s Auntie Kate and my earrings were a birthday present from one of my bridesmaids.” Mike wore his traditional family tartan while his groomsmen all wore tailcoat suits with blue cravats and matching accessories that tied in with our colour theme. “Our man-of-honour wore the same suit as the groomsmen but had a bowtie and pocket square to match the colour of the bridesmaids’ dresses which were multiway styles in different shades of blue,” Kimberley says. “Because we couldn’t have much entertainment due to the restrictions in place, we hired a harpist play for most of the day which sounded magical.” – Kimberley and Mike 46
